"For me it all started in my dad's garage up in Minnesota. He played John Mellencamp and The Beach Boys while I roller skated round and round singing at the top of my lungs. My goal in music is to take myself back to that garage, to tap into the wildness of going all in, no brakes, and laughing like a maniac the whole time. When I'm doing it right, I'm a kid again, and I don't wanna grow up.”
Fresh off 10 years touring with college friends turned band brothers in Kopecky Family Band, Kelsey Kopecky is ready to take her own name. She's trading her keyboard for an electric guitar and writing songs in a new garage.Kelsey teamed up with producer Danny Kalb (Beck, Ben Harper, Rilo Kiley) to capture and recreate the lo-fi vibe of her demos. The result is a lo-fi dream pop diary of songs called, "The Babysitter Worktapes.”
"After taking a break from the road, I got a job babysitting an 8 year old firecracker, Kelsey says. "I used the money to record my first solo album, and the result is something that embodies me both then - in my roller skate fervor - and the here and now. I can't wait to share it!
Debut ep, "The Babysitter Worktapes" is out spring 2017! Catch her Nashville release party on Valentine's day at the High Watt and on tour with joseph! Tickets and more info HERE!!]]>Jimmy Kimmel Live – Feb 3http://kopeckymusic.com/kopecky-on-kimmel/

“The story for the video developed when we first heard the lyrics of the chorus, 'Talk to me, tell me all your secrets cause I want to be everything you need,'” explained Karpovsky.
“We immediately saw those words as being spoken by a charismatic cult leader to his followers. But the catchy, fun vibe of the song got in the way; we seem to have inadvertently created a very fun cult that gets to carry around cool light sculptures and dance their afternoons away next to a grand piano. Why would anyone want to escape a cult like that?”]]>Nashville– We’re playing Live on the Green this year!http://kopeckymusic.com/nashville-were-playing-live-on-the-green-this-year/

Tue, 19 May 2015 18:47:02 +0000http://kopeckymusic.com/?p=1881The day is here and we couldn't be more thrilled to share our sophomore album with the world. This album was a work of love made at home in Nashville.
Unlike our first album, "Kids Raising Kids" which was written during sound checks on tour, we were able to take time off the road and make a record while sleeping in our own beds. The result is something quite special and moving. Everything from guitar tones to lyrical content is coming from a place of rest and overflow even in the midst of crazy life changes and personal evolutions.
"Drug for the Modern Age" asks more questions than gives answers. In this day and age we are all struggling to find a sense of ease and happiness in the midst of war & disease. We see addiction to drugs, alcohol, technology, ageless beauty & want what we can't have. But at the end of the day true fullness can be found in a greater love and appreciation for all things. Recognizing we are all connected. To me, that's the Drug for the Modern Age.
